Meat Inspector Thompson, of the local health
board, yesterday condemned three hogs that
had been slaughtered and offered for sale by
Edward Cation. the butcher. The meat was
bruised, STALE and all the bones in the animals
had been broken before slaughterine.
PROPOSED CHANGE OF POLICE HEADQUARTERS.
1t is probable that the building in which the
present State Offices are are located will be Sc
cured by the Police Commissioners for police
headquarters. The present quarters are too
small, and the officers the force say a change
of some kind will have to be made soon.

case for any reason tho latter should
leave the presidential track. II is an
honor, too, even to be defeated for so
high an Office as that Of President OF
the United States.
Again it is not impossible that Mr..
SHERMAN would be willing to run for
Vice. President on the ticket with
BLAINE if he thought that he could
thereby induce the American people to
whitcwash him, and give him even that
reason for fattNing himself that they
had forgiven him for stealing
the presidency. "Now or never "
was his motto at Toledo yesterday.
Why? Because he is now Just about
sixty-four years of age, and as he will
be seventy when the next President
after the one to be chosen next year
takes bis seat, it would be hoping
against hope for him to expect to APP
pear amongst presidential candidates
after 1888.
In word. Mr.. SHERMAN played his
last card at Toledo yesterday. If that
fails TO win the game for him, as fail it
will, his name will soon thereafter cease
to fall from mems tongues.

The Ohio Platform.

We print this morning the dema-
gogical platform of the Ohio Repubh-
cans. 1t is full of strong phrases and
bristles with points intended to arouse
the passions of the populace. Its tariff
features are not remarkable. Its reie-
rences to unrestricted immigration J"
will wake mp the country. 1t is Know.
Nothingism with its anti-Catholic fea-
ture omitted. The demand for ga
free ballot and fair count b" was stolen
from General MALONE, who has the
reputation in Virginia of having been
not over-anxious to practice what he
breaches. The endorsement of "na
tional aid to education (the BLAIR
blu is not confined to the Republican
party. The reference to the rights of
patentees will surprise the people of
the East. 1t explains itself, however.
The demand for taking the tax Off
American-grown tobacco will please
Virginians
The platform is rather inconsistent
in extending sympathy to Mr.. GLAD
STONE and the Irish. The Republicans
of Ohio care little for Ireland. They
are playing for votes both when they
denounce foreigners Us immigrants and
when they laud the Irish.
The bloody shirt is waved in high
wind. The lunatics go SO far as to de-
mand that Congress shall take charge
of all congressional elections IT in
the House of Representatives, of
course in the Senate. No constitution
al provision will prevent the malignants,
if they get the power, from legisiating
SO rs to provide that another Demo
cratic Congress shall never DC elected.
But as the Democrats already have one
house, and have good prospect Of
soon controlling the other, they will
doubtless see to it that if any such
laws are to be passed these shall be in
the interest Of the Democratic party.
The demagogue grins between the
lines whenever the platform touches the
dependent-pension bill or the Fedora
soldier and sailor. But let the tax-pay-
ers rally to the support of CLEVELAND.
There are three hundred and fifty thou
sand members of Grand Army posts,
but many of them are opposedto spend
ing thousand millions of dollars in
pensions and there are more than
three times three hundred thousand
voters in tho State of New York alone.
We cannot say that the Democrats
have much reason to hope for success
in Ohio next fall, that being Republic
can State, and voting the Republican
ticket as rule. But Virginia will off
set Ohio. and give CLEVELAND good
send-off. He is the man to beat Ohlo's
favorite whether this be SHERMAN or
BLAINE.

responded in aneat little speech, thank

Cooled Down.


A change for the better has come
over the spirit of the Hartford con-
rants dream. IT is rapidly recovering
from the attack of midsummer mad
ness it had in common with TCTrLE
and FMRCHILD. When those two
worthless became the victims of
the hallucination that another Presi-
dent could be gotten out OF
the bloody shirt, and began to rave
against President CLEVELAND, their
rawlings awakened a sympathetic echo
in the COurd5t Office. But the CDu-
rant has cooled down. Looking at the
TUTTLE-FAIRcEILD howl as a party in-
vostment, it has concluded that there
is nothing in it. Under the influence
of sober, second thought the COuranf
now says: "lf General FUTILE, Of
Iowa, has any lucid intervals he ought
to realize that his interference with the
st. Louis programme in relation to the
visit of the President was very fool
ish piece of business" AS to FAIR
CHILD, it apologies for him by
declaring, touching his palsy speech,
that "his remarks were made in
heat and ought not to have been re-
ported" THIS confession of error and
condemnation of attempts to wave the
bloody shirt must bo regarded as very
significant when we remember that the
Couran is partly owned by and is the
organ of Senator HAwLEY.

No Doubt of 1t
Governor FORAKER says

Governor FORAKER says:
THAT the South was made 'soli1
Ivy bloody and fraudulent methods is
as indisputable an historical fact as the
war itself.
No doubt of it, Governor FoaAKER !;
made solid by the bloody and fraudu-
lent methods Of the Republican party.
If there is fact as indisputable
as the war itself it is that while
the Republican party was in power
in the South it sedulously addressed
itself to the work of exciting race
prejudice, of fomenting election dis
turbances, and of fraudulently carrying
elections by coercing the negroes to
vote solidly the Republican ticket.
Not only that, but in some portions OF
the South the entire machinery of the
Federal courts and the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau was used to blackmail the
ignorant whites and force them to sup
port Republican nominees. These
outrages made the South solid, and
she will continue solid until all danger
of their repetition has vanished. The
more fully the nation accents the truth
of history the more unfortunate for
the Republican party will be illusions
to "bloody and fraudulent methods in
the South.

BUTLER WINS AGAIN.
The Second SWimning-Nntc with
Thomas Reilly.

A Philadelphia dispatch says The
second OF the series of swimming
matches between Denis Butler, OF this
city, and Thomas Reilly, the Boston
champion, was fought out to-day on the
Delaware at Gloucester, and resulted
in another victory for Butler, after one
Of the most stubborn races ever seen IN
the Delaware. The course was n straight
one of three miles from Red Bank to
a boat moored opposite ThoDpson's at
Gloucester. EOth men were in good
condition, and both We're confident of
success. Butler won the toss for choice
Of stations and selected the Jersey side.
He swain steady thirty-iour stroke to
the minute and Reilly a twcnty-seyen
stroke. Both used the side-stroke aud
swan well under water, Reilly swim
ming the breast-stroke now and then to
get a brief rest
At the end Of the first mile Butler
led by about three feet. At the half
distance the men were exactly level,
and at the two-mile buoy Reilly led by
barely foot. Then came a struggle
until the last quarter of mile, when
by almost superhuman efforts Butler
got u lead and managed to keep it.
Butler eventually passed the winning
post twenty yards in the front, and he
was greeted with round after round Of
cheers from about 5000 persons on the
shore and an enormous hotilla Of small
boats which had followed the swimmers.
The time on slow tide was fiity-four
minutes.
After the race Reilly claimed foul,
saving that Butler had kicked him du-
ring the race but as he had not
claimed it at the time the referee
awarded the race to Bntler. Both
men were used up after their terrific
struggle, but Reilly soon recovered
himself, and he expects to win the last
race.
The five-mile race viii take place on
Saturday from the block house. oppo-
site Fort Mifilin, to Haggarty' pavilion,
and as Reilly is a good long-distance
swimmer another fine race is likely to

E1r. Sherman.

Mr.. SHERMAN succeeded yesterday in
having himself declared by the Repub-
lean State Convention the fayorte
candidate Of Ohio for President of the
United States. Nobody was surprised
that he thus succeeded. There was no
good reason why even small majority
of the Republicans of Ohio assembledin
State convention should not declare who
was the man Of their preference for that
high Office. The Republicans of other
States have always declared for L" ia
yorite sons" Why should not those
Of Ohio?
But it was 80 long beforehand Yes.
there is where the compliment fails to
lie anything more than a compliment.
There will be held in Ohio a year hence
a convention to elect delegates at
large. if not all the delegates, to
the Republican National Convention !;
and of course the State Convention OF
next year will be the proper one to
name the candidate for whom the Re
publicans of Ohio may desire the vote
of their State to be cast. 1t was for
this reason, among others, no doubt,
that the BLAINE men did not oppose
the adoption OF the resolution recon-
mending SHERMAN for President. BE-
sides, as we have heretofore stated,
they had been assured by the leading
SIBERIAN organ in Ohio that Mr..
SHERMAN recognized the fact that Mr.
BLAINE would be nominated il he de-
sired the nomination, and SHERMAN
WAS not TO be considered as antagoni-
zing the great Maine statesman.
SHERMAN is doomed TO defeat. Let
the press never grow weary in affirm
inc that no man can evor be elected
President OF the United States who
had hand in stealing that Office from
Mr.. TuDEs in 1877. SIBERIAN was one
OF the guilty parties. What ? Place
the partner OF ELIZA PISKsToy in the
highest Office in the world ? Reward
man who went TO Louisiana in 1876,
and who has since declared it TO be his
creed that anything was justifable in
law or morals that would keep the
Democrats out of Office? Will the
people Of the United States ever en-
dorse the offence OF o criminal who
thus glories in his crime?
\ What, then, did Mr.. SHERMAN gair
by securing the recommendation OF the
4 Republican State Convention OF Ohio
We take it that he knows, as everybod,
else knows, that that recommendation
lis worth nothing TO him so long as Mr.
BLAINE is in the field for he hal
acknowledged as much. He merel,
wishes 10 stake the chances" "Therei
many slip 'twixt the cup and the lip,

ton now to succeed TO BLAISE's pres
